Perhaps you can read the guidelines yourself and see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries IMO, the Binc case is permissible but the Unac issue still needs a discussion with FESCo to get an exception for the current guidelines since the bundled code has been orphaned upstream. I have done so at https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/431 Rahul -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
